that slave kitten is cute

Primary question: What minor race do you want to see expanded on or facet of a major race you feel hasn't been explored enough?

Secondary Question: Which kind of mer has the most attractive women?

Sload
Bosmer

>What minor race
are dreugh sufficiently minor? I like spoopy sea creatures, would like to see more about them

>Secondary Question: Which kind of mer has the most attractive women?
I'd fug every single one of them desu, well maybe not orsimer

red nose looks bad on dunmer due to their dark skin, shouldn't it turn more purple or whatever instead of red?

Ayeleids

Dunmer

You have a source on that bosmer beauty or just personal preference

>minor race
Imga

>facet of a major race
anything Breton really

dunmer, but only younger women (which for dunmer would be up to 50 years or so?)

Barenziah still looked sexy in Daggerfall.

>Red nose

You ain't seen nothing.

Sload and Sload.

The concept art says the women are beautiful swanmays and the men are ugly goblins.

>minor race
falmer i guess
>most attractive
check pic

Maormer

Bosmer

In Morrowind they were basically like lolis, but that has changed.

Do you happen to have the specific art?

Dreugh, Breton.

Hard to choose really. As much as I like Altmeri women, they're too tall. Orismer are revolting. Bosmer are pretty, but I wouldn't want my son being a Bosmer, and Dunmer are my favorite, but they're sloots.

No, they really were not.

...

Short stature, child like voices and child like faces. How that isn't loli?

They do not look like children. Elven, yes, but like a 10 year old, no.

Also the women are average height, you filthy fucking casual.

Bosmer women were never short.

>uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Races
Look up the heights of each race per gender.
Bosmer Women are exactly average height, where as Bosmer men are the shortest.

I wasn't meaning like 10 year olds, but like 13-15. Voices are much more childlike though.
They are shorter than women of other races in Morrowind though. Might be bit taller than Bosmeri men, but still pretty short.

Me on the left

She just looks like a pretty oriental lady to me, pham.

There are races taller than Orcs and Redguards too, but that doesn't make them short.

>all those Dunmer whores
muh dick

Bosmer female has height of 0.9 which makes actual visible difference compared to 1.0 for most of races. Also, that page confirms Bosmer have shortest women out of all races with even Breton women (which is visible in game also) being 0.95.

Bosmer female is 1, Bosmer male is 0.9. Check again, retard.

Lad, if you're new to TES, it's fine, but you're not impressing people with this tuskposting.

I still think tusked dragons are a good idea.

What would a Skooma/Moon Sugar high feel like?

Yes Tuskwiz, believe me, we know

They increase your speed, so I think it's like being on meth.

Moon Sugar isn't a drug. Skooma seems to be a psychedelic with some sedative effects, maybe like a mix of lsd and heroin?

>Moon Sugar isn't a drug

>Moon Sugar isn't a drug
ESOfags everyone.

Moon Sugar is a drug. It's said to send Kahjiit who use too much of it into fits of religious ecstasy.
>It has analgesic and soporific effects; it makes users "happy and stupid." In humans, its consumption causes a euphoric state followed by complete exhaustion.

...

From in-game texts and other info it seems to be combination of opiate, psychedelic and stimulant high, so it's really unique and no drug like that exists in real life. Basically skooma gives you addictive opiate like euphoria (and a similar withdrawal to opium/morphine if you regularly use it), psychedelic effects (like hallucinations in extreme cases, but more commonly it seems to be limited to altered states of thinking and perception) and makes you speedy like amphetamines.

Play Morrowind. One of the main characters smokes Moon Sugar on the regular, and is said to handle the high better than most Khajiit.

There was also this whole Uncle Sweetshare business in Fort Frostmoth.

No, he smokes Skooma, which is processed moon sugar.

Christ, last thread was painful.

Bretons are kind of messed up.

The thing about the "stereotypical" magical pseudo-medieval setting that many see High Rock as, is that such a place has never existed. It's a setting where every aspect is overdone. The people are extra magical, the knights extra honourable, the land extra full of adventure, the farmers are extra repressed, and the nobles are extra scheming. Mystical Merish high society and downtrodden lowlife. And so much local variety.
Other humans don't act like this, they'd find the society weird.
But Manmer do. Their normal is weird.

The Breton mix of dynamic mannish traits and stagnant merish culture led to a weird mix where there's one aspect of the society that's incredibly rigid, with noble lines, social divides and tradition, but at the same time everyone is magical and prone to seek their own hills, become kings and adventurers. "All" Breton nobles want to be their own king, but their dynamic traits only work within their rigid system. I find this whole mix to be extremely strange, when you consider the fact that this is all normal behaviour for the Bretons.

I can only imagine that the Imperials look at the way Breton society works and finds it weird and rigid, while the Altmer find the Breton system all too dynamic and changing. It's certainly weird.

Then again this comes down to interpretation right now, since there's still unknown aspects of the Bretons. My view is Daggerfall-inspired, mostly.

>Moon sugar is a grainy powder of small white crystals refined from cane grasses of Elseweyr's coasts and estuaries. Used as a spice in Elsweyr, it has modest magical properties, and is also a potent narcotic, and illegal in Morrowind and the rest of the Empire. Criminals have attempted to grow moon sugar grasses in Vvardenfell, without success.
>Over the past couple of months several people across Solstheim have been poisoned...with moon sugar. Someone has been slipping it into their food and wine. They experience temporary euphoria, and then complete exhaustion
>I sat down to some wine, and moments later realized something was wrong. I am a law-biding man, %PCName, and have never experienced anything so...free, in all my life! The laughing, the dancing...it was horrible!

There is also Uncle Sweetshare who makes Moon Sugar candies. In that case the high is described as very strong and quite psychedelic. Confessions of a Skooma Eater and the way it's used to make slaves more obedient in original Morrowind game makes it seem more like that Moon Sugar is more "harmless" with high akin to raw opium and Skooma is like Laudanum or morphine extracts in general, but stat bonus it gives is in line with stimulants, so it's pretty weird drug.

No, in the cornerclub you go to, they say he smokes Moon Sugar, and you find Moon Sugar on his roof, in his inventory, and in dialogue he says he got in trouble with The Empire for smoking so much Sugar.

He smoked Moon Sugar.

>There is also Uncle Sweetshare who makes Moon Sugar candies.
It's legal in Highrock and Skyrim, now. The candies are too expensive, though.

Only Alchemical Moon Sugar is legal. Also, you can't be arrested for having it on your person.

I remember this. Great work, user.

>facet of a major race
Just feed me more good Elsweyr lore. I want to know how that fucking place functions. Give me politics, cities, rulers and trade. Basically the Daggerfall treatment, where we got tons of regional info about High Rock and Hammerfell.

>most fuggable
Hard to say. I like tall girls, but I don't like Altmer. Bosmer are worst elves.
So probably Dunmer. Or a nice Orsimer lass.

Amusingly enough, in Daggerfall being a female Bosmer means you get no changes to your stats. They're the most average people possible.

Wasn't possession of it (and skooma) technically legal in Morrowind too? I'm pretty sure they banned only the trade, similarly to Dwemer artifacts and Ebony, but really only Moon Sugar ban seems to enforced at all.

I was making a weed joke.

It was illegal, same as selling dwemer artifacts and necromancy.

One of these days I'm going to try to play some Scrollhammer with some of you guys.

>That perfect ending to the last thread.
Noice.

Ogres.

Bretons.

It took him dozens of threads but he finally got it.

Maybe. Right now I'm trying to play some UESRPG, but scheduling is throwing the other players off. I'm pretty hyped, though, since the GM seems really cool and we're going to explore the stranger parts of lore.

Do tell.

Nothing much to tell, I haven't played yet due to scheduling, but I have my character sheet filled out, got the character's personality, backstory, flaws and aspirations planned out, and now I'm waiting.

The campaign from what I was told is going to take place around Old Ebonheart, my character is to be a representative from the Mages Guild seeking expansion into Old Ebonheart where I'll meet the other players, an Argonian Fighter and a Khajiit Thief. Sounds like it's going to be fun.

I remember a better one, where literally the last post before it was pruned was that of an Alduin.

Looks like Michael Jackson to me.

His house is filled with moonsugar.

It's all but guaranteed he has false walls with even more moonsugar

Maomer. Solely because I love sailing and naval based games and I want to command a ship of dick ass elves damn it.

Technically I think it's supposed to be Bosmer due to shapechanging magicks but I've always liked Altmer chicks more.

It's such a shame there's so little naval lore.

>I want to command a ship of dick ass elves
That's literally the Old Mary navy.

>an Orc rips open my tight outlander boipussy every night
So, it all worked out in your end, then?

>in your end

...

>implying Caius and associates dont have diplomatic immunity

Speak freely, friend.

>blades agents
>being officially recognised by the empire
>being treated as diplomats

The best solution is to eat all of that moonsugar in the second they are trying to arrest you and run the fuck away.
From that moment on you need to rely on wild training and exercise in nature, punching kwama with hit and run tactics, eating everything you find in hopes that it makes you stronger, eventually you become Tarzan Nerevarine.

"Diplomatic immunity" is more of an approximate term, obviously the Blades aren't diplomats.
I'm sure the higher up Hlaalu/Imperials know to turn a blind eye to the Blades as long as they aren't hurting anything or commiting roguish acts.

>Tarzan

Veeky Forums was talking about that not too long ago, apparently someone made a really popular Tarzan mod on the Nexus where Tarzan has a huge penis

Which ruleset?

I'm considering just writing it up for Age of Sigmar once I'm done with UMSO.

The most recent.

!resist arrest

>Receive anonymous tip from Seyda Neen that somebody made off with an engraved ring of healing
>He looks me straight in the eyes and says "Resist Arrest"
Perfect.

I hope you do. It was pretty fun to play but no one is ever interested.

Where my boy Jyggalag

Busy attending the Gathering of the Juggalos.

whoop whoop
youtube.com/watch?v=sXpH2nfiavE

Man, Juggalos generally seem to be having a great time.

Which begs the question, who the Juggalos of Tamriel?

Juggalos are the most fascinating breed of white trash. They're even classified as a gang by the FBI.
If you're into bad movies, I honestly recommend Big Money Rustlas. See it with friends.

As for Tamriel, Juggalos would be a cult that couldn't decide if they liked Sanguine or Sheo the best, so they got high and worshipped both with extremely shitty ritual music.

Bored as hell. Anyone want to give Scrollhammer a try on Maptools?

Disclaimer that I've pretty much forgotten everything.
